No, I don't think that would be sadder, just stupider. It is sadder to me that we are not only destroying ourselves (which could be said to be collective karma within the species), but all the life on the planet. Animals, plants, minerals, the Earth itself who provides nurturing and a home for all the species here, are being killed and maimed and genetically mutated from our insanity.
But perhaps if you were to show a video as you describe to people, they would respond with more empathy, as most humans are self-centered and prone to responding when it involves self.
Here we are, on the ground so to speak, in the midst of all this madness. We wanted to be here. This is what I remind myself of: I wanted to be here. So I must wrench my focus from the sadness and the judgments to what I can do to evolve the situation to one of sanity and compassion for other-selves.
